"Doves" Original Acoustic by Alec Olinger

With all the senseless violence in the world that seems to not be stopping any time soon, I wanted to write a song about it. Let me know what you think. Lyrics below:

Turn the 5 o'clock news on
Is this the same story running again?
Another life lost too short in time
By some man's senseless crime

What'd your kids learn at school today?
Basic subjects or how to run away
If a man walks in with a gun
Hunting your daughter and son

Will this cycle ever end?
Somethings gotta change the trend

Oh this world is a mess
We just can't keep it straight
Each side pointing the finger yelling something they hate
Wasting breath in the precious life we have
All sounding like psycopaths

Think we yearn for the same
We want our children safe
If we can't trust each other
Will we bend or break?
At the weight of what endangers us
Holding on to wings of doves

Though this world is a mess
It's got more than one trait
We're all brothers and sisters just trying to demonstrate
Our ways to move on from the past
Maybe there's more than just one path

Think we yearn for the same
But this isn't a race
Gotta lean on each other
Keep our neighborhoods safe
In a world that feels so dangerous
Holding on to wings of doves
